Are there any recurring fees involved?
No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.
Under the West Virginia Statutes, the beneficiary of an interest in property may renounce the gift, either in part or in full (W. Va. Code 42-6-1 to 42-6-19 Uniform Disclaimer of Property Interests Act). Note that the option to disclaim is only available to beneficiaries who have not acted in any way to indicate acceptance or ownership of the interest ( 42-6-13).
The disclaimer must be in writing and include a description of the interest, a declaration of intent to disclaim all or a defined portion of the interest, and be signed by the disclaimant ( 42-6-5 (c)).
Deliver the disclaimer within nine months of the transfer (e.g., the death of the creator of the interest) to the personal representative of the decedent's estate or the trustee, or file it with the court having authority to appoint such a person or to enforce the trust ( 42-6-12). If real property is involved, record a copy of the disclaimer in the office of the clerk of county commission in the county where the property is located in order to avoid any ambiguity regarding the chain of title ( 42-6-15).
A disclaimer is irrevocable and binding for the disclaiming party and his or her creditors ( 42-6-5), so be sure to consult an attorney when in doubt about the drawbacks and benefits of disclaiming inherited property. If the disclaimed interest arises out of jointly-owned property, seek legal advice as well.

My first submission was super quick and easy. I had trouble with the second submission, as I was not aware of what the county would require, but the team at Deeds.com walked me through every step of the process. Will definitely use again and refer business partners to Deeds.com!
Thank you, Jason! We’re glad your first submission went smoothly and appreciate your patience with the second. County requirements can vary, and we’re always here to help make the process as simple as possible. We look forward to assisting you — and your business partners — again soon!

The download package is very thorough and complete for the Corrective Deed I needed to file. The material is state/county specific and includes a completed example. The price is reasonable compared to an attorney fee from $400 to $600
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Easy to use and instructions were very clear. If possible, it would be nice to be able to download the entire package at one time - it was a little cumbersome to download each item separately. (Of course, I didn't know which of the items I needed, so downloaded them all)
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I AM NOT TOO SMART WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTER STUFF, BUT THIS WEBSITE MADE IT SO VERY EASY & SIMPLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE TASK THAT WAS NEEDED. I FOUND MY STATE, FOUND THE TYPE OF DEED I NEEDED, FILLED IN THE BLANKS, PRINTED IT OUT & THEN GOT THE REQUIRED SIGNATURES WITNESSED & NOTARIZED -- EASY-PEASY! I WILL BE USING DEEDS.COM IN THE FUTURE & WILL CERTAINLY RECOMMEND IT TO FRIENDS & FAMILY.
I REALLY APPRECIATED ALL THE OTHER FORMS OF EXPLANATION THEY GIVE YOU AS WELL AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW YOUR COMPLETED DOCUMENT SHOULD LOOK ONCE YOU'RE FINISHED.

AMAZING! Easy to use, reasonable fee - and get MUCH MORE than just a deed form. I ordered a "deed" and received a whole "package," including a guide and the jurisdiction's costs schedule and cover page that would be needed to record the deed - even included a Certificate of Transfer that is not required for a deed but something I needed for a different transaction. The website was extremely easy to use and the cautions about not disclosing personal information were so clear and personal, they made me feel secure in knowing this site was not trying to rip me off. Very professional. Well done.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
